2After connecting the single t LINE IN/SUB IN connection, plug your ENERGY subwoofer into an AC outlet. Do not use the AC outlet on the rear of your receiver. After plugging in the unit, switch the Main Power to On.
3Select either the Crossover Mode Active or Bypass u. The Crossover Mode Active switch position should be used when connecting your ENERGY subwoofer to a receiver without bass management or when you wish to manually control the crossover and volume settings (such as in a music system). The Crossover Bypass switch position should be used when connecting to a receiver with bass management (such as in a digital surround sound movie system). This connection defeats the crossover feature on the
